Eleven | 573 comments "I like the grey area. I'm never going to be a guy who sits at a cubicle and lives the American Dream life."

Completely agree with that one.

Eleven | 573 comments Aaaand a major cliffhanger at the end. But we already knew that.

Eleven | 573 comments This book is really not nearly complete without part two.

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I just got up about 30 minutes ago. Haven't gotten back to it yet. I'm drinking my coffee and trying to get ready for the auction. It's a very rainy day and that makes for SLOW Moving 🤣

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I just finished chapter 21 page 110.
This helped me make sense of the various inking of the women.
“Nah. She’s not Death Dealer property. I want something special for her.”

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I find it interesting that women who aren't necessarily 'Old Ladies ' are inked.

Good morning then :-).
I sleep in all kind of weird times so it's all chaotic for me, although it is technically morning too :-).

Some are club property and are inked accordingly. To prevent other clubs from messing with them.

But most clubs , especially mc books don't do that. So it's kind of like they are an actual PART of the club.

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I finished. Thought I had the next book but I don't.
I'm not sure I want to read the next.
This was okay but didn't WOW me.
Though it was a decent cliffhanger ending

Yes, incomplete like this, it's definitively lacking on the wow factor. Underwhelming somewhat.

Eleven | 573 comments Book 1 is in fact only first third not the first half, second book is twice as long and all the action happens there.
But, it is also not free, and it never was free AFAIK.

But it's only 2.99 and full length. However, your saying their story continues to a 3rd book?

No, it's just the two books. Only thing is that the second book is double the length of first. Meaning we only read one third of the story now. The whole story is definitively finished in second book.

Hmm. That's better.
I liked Axle. I didn't like how Eve acted with him

I just got time to sit down & start reading & I'm 10% in & hooked. I love that in the span of a few pages, in the exchange so much happens between the breathers & Drex to give Eve only a slither of the brutality of them both. His lie also, about it being for life. That's going to be an intense choice. The writing is so tight, and addictive. Glad I've got the day off.

I'm still impressed how she managed to start with a scene that was repeated after and it didn't get awkward or boring.

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I meant to ask,
Does Nola want us to post a link to our review here or on different thread.
I remember seeing something about how she wanted us to do something with our reviews in this group but can't remember what it was.

I don't remember either :-(. Which is not exactly a surprise, considering all the things I tend to forget...

Same!

message 130: by Debra (new) - rated it 3 stars

Debra Johnson (debraptj) I reread Nola's first post in this thread and I THINK she wants us to share our reviews here.

Here is the link to my review.

If you don't want to go to the link but want to read my review here instead, here it is hidden in spoiler tags.

Eleven | 573 comments I checked my books, but I didn't write a review, just rated it. But it wouldn't be right for me to review it as is anyway, since I have the whole book in mind. Which is a completely different experience than when you stop at 1/3 like this. I do understand why authors do this - they can earn more, but it's decremental to the book. Those two books should be one whole.

I completely agree! They definitely should have been one book.
A bit of editing out some of the 'Unnecessary' bit's in this one and upping the intrigue/investigation ON PAGE & merging bk#2 into this one would have made the entire experience so much better.
I'm sure the 2nd book has a bit of filler in it too.
So the 2 books together should be about 300 pages max.

Have you read the entire series of this? There are 4 books total.

I've read all four of them, yes. I liked book 3 less than Property of Drex, and book 4 even less. Not that it wasn't good writing, but the characters didn't appeal to me as much.

What has me worried is that the series might not be completed. I don't know if she closed all the holes before she passed.
Do you know what I'm saying?

I know. I think she did if I remember it correctly. Meaning, sure if she wanted she could've probably set some other book in the same world, but she exhausted all the previously mentioned themes and previously central characters, nothing obvious is missing.

That definitely helps me to make a decision!

Book four is about Rush, he was that young, kinda assholish guy who was trailing behind Drex's father, a stepson of the other older club guy, the kind one. If you remember the scene when the whole entourage entered Drex's room when he was in bed with Eve for example (after the attack).
